Mouse pads are quite common, and are often found everywhere from businesses to private homes. It's little wonder then, that companies recognized the humble mouse pad as great location for advertising. Located literally at the client's fingertips, the pad sits under a mouse that is often used for up to eight hours or more each day. In this way, custom mouse pads provide something of value to the customer, while serving the function of keeping a company name visible.
Custom mouse pads are commonly rubber or foam pads printed with a custom message, picture, and/or logo. High-resolution photographs can add ambiance to the advertising message. A cruise line might feature a picture of its star liner in an aqua blue Mediterranean Sea for their mouse pads, accompanied by a logo and phone number. They can be given freely to past clients who are potential future customers, and by reminding them daily of their wonderful vacations, the mouse pads encourage repeat business.
Companies that provide services might prefer mouse pads featuring a logo with the company maxim. When the client needs that service again, the company name will still be fresh in mind, thanks to it being always nearby. A small cafe or eatery located in an industrial park might even put its menu on mouse pads. They can be kept at the restaurant's front counter by the register to be sold to customers at cost, or given away as a bonus with large orders.
Custom mouse pads are also great for personal use. A family portrait can be transferred to one or more mouse pads to be given away as presents. A son's winning touchdown, a daughter's volleyball spike, or maybe a favorite car, pet or camping photo can all be printed on the pad to remind the user of good times, loved ones, or favorite hobbies while working throughout the day. Customized mouse pads can also jazz up a work area and add a touch of individuality to any workspace, be it at home or at the office.
Whether for advertising or for personal use, there are several companies that provide custom mouse pads. Prices range according to the type of pad, design, and quantity ordered. In most cases, artwork must be provided, but some companies will create designs for customers at an additional cost.
